How about the following example (doesn't nicely fit the western document
authoring style, but anyway):
HEADING1
This is a paragraph related to heading 1.
This is a paragraph related to heading 1.
HEADING 1.1
This is a paragraph related to heading 1.1.
This is a paragraph related to heading 1.1.
This is a paragraph related to heading 1.
This is a paragraph related to heading 1.
(text indented to show the logical structure)
SECTION element is able to describe structures like this, H1-H6 isn't.
I support including both SECTION and DI. But if SECTION isn't required,
I cannot see why DI should be required.
